The 2000s saw the announcement of YouTube’s celebrity era. A time when people achieved celebrity status simply by posting interesting content and building their following on the platform. This era saw the emergence of star individuals like Logan Paul and PewDiePie and bands like Perfect Dude and the once mighty SAK Channels. The collective known as the Vlog Squad falls into this same category.
However, they are unique in that they don’t really have a dedicated channel or even a group channel. The Vlog Squad is simply a group of former Vine stars who frequently feature on David Dobrik ‘s Youtube channel, who is widely accepted as the leader of the pack. All of the members are currently YouTube stars in their own right, with some even having bigger followings than David. Let’s take a closer look at the members of the Vlog team.
